Tavern VS Abbey?

[Squirting Elephant]

I noticed that they can get quirks when I put em in it. For example: my man-at-arms got a quirk from the abbey. And my healer as well. So I also end up putting them in the sanitarium afterwards :/.

But what's the real difference between the 2 buildings? Should specific classes always be put in either the tavern or abbey or?


I also have a man-at-arms that doesn't want in neither the abbey nor the tavern :/

The abbey is usually a better choice for the sole reaosn that the tavern can end up costing you your trinkets.
The tavern also has more debuffs associated with it, and usually steals money from you more often.
Every action in both of them can give quirks to either be addicted or revolted by that action in the future.

Abby tends to give quirks that bar or demand certain actions in the abby. Tavern the same, but I find the tavern has a higher tendency to make your heroes lose extra money or trinkets. More importantly tavern uses paintings which are hard to get right now (smaller stack) and needed in mass for guild improvement.

So always unequip trinkets before putting them in either one? And always prefer the abbey?

[Borealis]

They can steal trinkets from your box too. As far as I know, brothel won't lose your money or trinkets, but you can catch diseases from it.

I never ever use the tavern. I make my Heroes all go to church. It builds character. They probably all pray for a quick death, but my graveyard is still empty.

Great work keeping the reaper off their asses.

This. The Tavern is a giant newbie trap.

Abbey is better hands down imo. Your guys can end up donating money to the abbey but they can also wind up losing money or trinkets in the tavern. Your guys can get negative quirks either place (witness for abbey/known cheat for tavern, for instance) or go wandering off for a while (spiritual journey/epic bender) but I've never had my heroes come back from the abbey with torn rotator cuffs, broken legs or venerial disease like they will from drunken misadventure.

Yep. Tavern just has more lasting/dangerous negative possibilities in general.

Them poor ---- are scared of pigs and zombies? Flagelation for the win! Whip them to condition.

Basically the tavern needs to be buffed then.

Personally I feel that the Abbey should be made to be more expensive. Make it the safe but costly choice between the two...

[Cure Seraph]

I think the Abbey has the upperhand, even though as of late it seems to be around 50/50 with heroes donating gold, going on enlighthenment quests or getting quirks to stick to the church or avoid it.

More liked "burned with the righteous fire and rebuild from the ground up". Preferably as another house of prayer.

Is there no positive aspect to the Tavern? Isn't it or shouldn't it be more of a high-risk high-rewards type thing?

[michaelmerlin]

Might be better if the tavern was cheaper and came with a free capacity buff. it is a little strange that at base only one person can drink at a time.

Maybe give it a buff to stress heal the more people are gambleing/drinking at the same time? Just a stright up buff for the brothel is in order, as it is now it's crazy expensive to use it because of the need to get rid of syphilius.
